Getting To The Point: Wondering About Beauty
I'm surprised to see how long it's been since my last posting; I've been walking more than blogging! Today I directed a geocaching event for my colleague's Dad's Club. While dads and sons scoured Pt. Defiance Park for hidden treasures, I toured the park's rose garden. I love roses, and make a point of taking time to stop and smell them. And photograph them. Here's my collection of One Inch Roses, collected photographically as I've walked Tacoma. Please click on the collage, and then click again with the magnifier cursor to get a better look:
Have you ever wondered about that? How is it that we recognize beauty as such? Sure Darwinism offers an explanation for male-female attraction, but why do we recognize a rose or a sunset as beautiful? Why do we perceive a mountain range, or an ice skater's leap as beautiful? I think about such things as I walk.
